It pained Replicus to admit it, but despite his firm stance now, previously, he had thought about ways to simply replace the part of his soul he was missing.
He had thought the Supreme potions would work, but was greatly disappointed when he discovered that they could only heal the user basing on what was considered their full health from the point immediately preceding their use of the potion. Essentially, a Supreme potion couldn't heal the damage to Skullius' soul which was done a thousand years ago. Its current state registered as whole to the potion, likely because he functioned quite well despite his condition.
Replicus had also thought about the viability of solving his soul problem by becoming a Looming Soft Spawn – one of the evolutions he was presented before.
